“In the case of the Twin Robot Xbar Press Tending Robot System – says Daniel Wappling, Global R&D Manager at ABB – with modeFRONTIER we obtained a 12% energy saving, without compromising performance. Obviously, this is something that can’t be done by hand, you need an optimization software to do it.”

Two design projects highlight how ABB Group leverages optimization-based development to handle the complexity that automation and control systems entail and to maximize mechatronic product performance, meet reliability demands and ease overall environmental impact.

Medium voltage reclosers are protection devices for medium voltage grid operators which are often integrated into overhead line towers. Finding the right configuration for the components piloting the process is not only crucial in terms of recloser lifetime but also enables excellent switching properties, ultimately improving energy performance.

Ensuring high product reliability by preventing human error when performing physical and chemical analysis of hardware is key to Fujitsu analytical group. Nanometer level measurement or tools like the low-dose alpha rays detectors are indispensable for demonstrating the high reliability of the company’s products. However, the setup and calibration phases can be very tedious and challenging.

This case study analyzes the benefits of integrating modeFRONTIER and exploiting its automation and optimization tools for developing complex systems design and deployment.The System Engineering discipline relies on a series of organized steps and procedures which shape the whole System Engineering Process. The macro-steps composing this process are the "Definition and decomposition" of the problem, the "Implementation" of the software/hardware system and the "Integration and recomposition" - i.e. testing and validation - phase.

ESTECO SpA will showcase mF4LV, the first application bringing the optimization capabilities of modeFRONTIER platform to LabVIEW projects during the NIWeek 2013, the world's leading graphical system design conference and exhibition hosted by National Instruments starting today.

The work focuses on the Rapid Model Development for complex systems that can be possible through a measurement based approach to model creation, in addition optimization methods can powerful tools for better model creation of non-repetitive systems.Optimization technologies allow for reduced test steps resulting in reduced time, and auto system calibration for system level testing.

This proceeding, presented at the modeFRONTIER User's Meeting 2012, focuses on the methodology to optimize parameters for real time control system in the field of kinematic analysis. Furthermore LabView was used to configure the Real-Machine-Target optimization.
